Barn in Cumbria

Holiday Rental Description

This property is located on the owner s small farm, up a steep narrow hill in the picturesque Lake District National Park. It enjoys a fantastic location close to two of the area s best loved features: Coniston Water and The Old Man of Coniston, providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy scenic walks, challenging hikes, and a range of watersports, for which equipment can be hired from the nearby Coniston Boating Centre. For a more leisurely perspective of the lake, the beautifully restored steam yacht gondolas which depart from the town jetty are a fantastic way to spend a relaxing day on the water. Other attractions in or near to the village include The Ruskin Museum, the Go Ape high ropes centre in Grizedale Forest, and Wray Castle. This handsome stone barn is situated alongside several other properties on the owner s farm and offers comfortable accommodation for five guests. On entering the cottage, guests will find a hallway, off from which there are two flights of stairs, one going up to the living area and the other going down to the bedrooms. Taking the stairs to the first floor, guests will come to the open plan living space comprising a lounge/kitchen.
